Summary:

Hybrid Wars: A futuristic top-down mech shooter. Command and upgrade an arsenal of futuristic mechs to take on hordes of enemies across giant levels in this breakneck, challenging shooter.

About:

In 2060, humanity is on the cusp of the second technological revolution. Earth has become a tangled web of information, energy and transportation networks watched from orbit by thousands of electric eyes. Sprawling cities, vast spaceports, and immense military complexes are dominated by tanks, choppers and variety of other machines that rule land, sea and sky. While corporations still pull the strings that control the world, their grip is starting to weaken.

Hybrid Wars lets you command and upgrade your own arsenal of futuristic mechs to take on wave after wave of enemy forces. Jump into a classic top-down shooter experience as you obliterate over 50 types of enemy and team up with friends to cause more mayhem. Harness an arsenal of diverse machines—tanks, robots, helicopters, and the mighty titans—to rise to the top of the food chain. With 8 huge locations to explore, over 150 objectives to complete, and multiple game modes—from single player story to cooperative — Hybrid Wars immerses you in a future where those with the quickest wits and biggest guns survive.
Choose your combat vehicle and start your fight for the future now.

Funny how their games are still full of bugs, and they start new projects, like their games are prefectly fine, as they are… Seriously, this last WoT 9.15.1 is the worst patch of all time. I encountered mroe bugs, than ever before. MM is still nonsense RNG lottery, same as arty, but why not, start a new project. Maybe just maybe we might have something from global rebalance, but I doubt. They have 3 games, + Master of Orion, they started WoT 2.0, and now this… I don’t get it…

ever come to mind that WG has more than 1 team who develops games? ever thoguth about that maybe WG hired some devs to make that game, like they did with MoO? WG didn’t develop that game, they merely published it.

Rita when you will bother about the fact that 9.15.1 brought a fatal bug into the game. Most players are calling it Lag, but during this so called Lag the FPS are dropping from 125 to 10-21. It shows 10-21 FPS but the game completly freezes for some secs. WG EU is actively deleting posts about this bug so no one will know. I asked about 10 players that had this ‘Lags’ to tell me the FPS during this Lags and all said the same, it drops hard and can be even seen in the replays.

FFS the specs. Good even the lowest requirement need 4 GB of RAM and Core i3 with 3.2Ghz. Damn it, my PC only got 4 GB and core i5 with 2.5 Ghz. lol and the GPU is 2nd class grade which is so high compared with GT series in 4th class. I guess the only option that I’ve is just stick to WoT.

I guess I’m the first to note that WG messed up on their helicopter. The dual-rotor setup, as used on the Kamov Ka-50, Ka-52, Ki-27, Mil Mi-28, and Sikorsky X2 is designed to allow for higher flight speeds and eliminate the need for a tail rotor. However, the blades sets have to be rotating in opposite directions, which does not appear to be the case on WG’s model.

Note the direction of the blade tip sweep – helicopter blade tips are always swept back. Both sets of blades on the model are designed to rotate clockwise, which will make the performance little different than a typical helicopter – except it’s missing a tail rotor and so its flight will be limited to spinning in circles.

At first looking at the page I thought this was an early april fool’s joke, but with the steam link I guess it’s serious…. had no idea WG had even thought about making a game like this, I guess they finally decided to use GPG’s talents after all.

Well, in 2013 WG bought the Total Annihilation franchise from Atari so this might be a partial result of that. I’ve never played Total Annihilation, but I LOVE Supreme Commander, so if it follows that pattern, I’m all in too.
